We continued our series on touchstones for building trustworthy community. Our children’s choir sang. Larry S. and Jon S. both offered special music on this Sunday. We focused on the touchstone: “Learn to respond to others with honest open questions. Do not respond with counsel or corrections. Using honest, open questions helps us “hear earth other into deeper speech.” We couple the touchstone with several short questions offered by Jesus:

Matthew 8:26: “Why are you afraid?”

Matthew 16:15: “Who do you say that I am?”

Matthew 20:32: “What do you want me to do for you?”
